Bomb Threat Call
Causes Inn Evacuation
SPOKANE (AP)—A telephone
message, which a 16-year-ohl
girl working the switchboard in
terpreted as a bomb threat,
caused evacuation of the swank
Desert Caravan Inn on the west
city limits Tuesday night.
Betty Walker, daughter of the
inn’s manager, received a call at
7:30 p.m. from a man who said
simply. "In 13 minutes."
The girl notified the clerk and
he called Manager Ward J.
Walker at his home. Ward
rushed to the inn to supervise
evacuation of some 110 persons
from the dining room and cof
fee shop and an unknown num
ber from the inn’s 56 rented
rooms.
The telephone call was similar
to one made to the Davenport
hotel last week, causing the evac
uation of 1300 guests.
Student Poll Reveals
Opinions on Yalta Papers
More college students believe
that the recent release of the
Yalta papers was a mistake than
behove It was proper at the time
it was made. This was revealed
by a national student poll con
ducted by the Associated Colleg
iate Press.
The results of the poll, by per
cent, were: men In favor, 33;
opposed, 43; undecided, 24; wom
en in favor, 23; opposed, 35; un
decided, 42; total in favor, 28;
opposed 40, and undecided, 32.
"A political move that accom
plished nothing little except to
dig up dead facts that can't be
changed," one freshman labeled
the release of the papers.
"Lack of good taste, more of
a political move than a service
to the people," a graduate stu
dent said.
A graduate student In favor
of the release commented that It
never hurts tO know the truth.
"It was proper at any time.
The earlier the better. Perhaps
we will learn from our pant mis
takes," one coed aald.
The results of the |>oll show
that coeds were less decided on
this question than men. But near
ly one-third of all the students
asked were undecided.

Why it’s wise to
By Homer J. Livingston, President of
The First National Bank of Chicago and
President, American Bankers Association
Like millions of other Americans, you
probably know that our government’s Series
E Savings Bonds rank among the surest,
safest and best investments in the world. But
I wonder if you realize that an extremely
attractive feature has been added to them.
Today, you no longer need cash your Bonds
at maturity (9 years, 8 months after pur
chase). You can hold them for as long as 19
years, 8 months. And this enables you to get
a far greater total yield from them, since the
interest paid on Savings Bonds is cumulative.
That is to say, your Bonds pay interest not
only on the principal, but on the accumu
lated interest itself! Now, the longer you hold
your Bonds the bigger this accumulation gets
—and, correspondingly, the more money
your Bonds pay in interest every year.
If you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten
years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00
today. You would make $12.50. But if you
keep that Bond for ten more years, you will
make a total of $29.84 on your original in
vestment. In other words, if you hold your
U. S. Savings Bonds for double their original
period, your total yield is considerably more
than just double.
So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold your
Bonds for the maximum period—19 years,
8 months. You don’t have to sign any papers
or visit your bank to do this. The extended
earning period is automatic.
And, of course, go on investing in U. S.
Series E Savings Bonds—through the Pay
roll Savings Plan where you work. If self
employed, invest in Savings Bonds regu
larly where you bank.
Want your interest paid as
current income?
Invest in 3% Series H.
United States Government Series H
Bonds are new current income Bonds
in denominations of $500 to $10,000.
Redeemable at par after 6 months and
on 30 days’ notice. Mature in 9 years, 8
months and pay an average of 3% per
annum if held to maturity. Interest
paid semiannually by Treasury check.
Series H may be purchased through
any bank. Annual limit: $20,000.
